Clear Motion Drive u
Most conventional LCD panel uses 50 frames per second (50Hz) or 60 frames per second (60Hz) to display an
image which needs long holding time (time it takes to display single frame), causing blurring or ghost images when
there is rapid or complex movement across the screen – a phenomenon common to all LCD panels.
This TV is equipped with JVC’s original “Clear Motion Drive u” technology, which displays two frames (the original
plus the new interpolated frame) in the time a 50Hz or 60Hz set displays a single frame. Resulting to double the
typical rate, 100 frames per second (100Hz) or 120 frames per second (120Hz) and halve the holding time without
reducing brightness or contrast. By using this technology you will be able to reduce blurring or ghost images when
there is rapid or complex movement across the screen.
By using “Demo 3”, you can display the differences between conventional LCD (50Hz or 60Hz) and LCD panel
equipped with “Clear Motion Drive u”.
The “DynaPix” ticker will run
right to left
You can confirm the differences
of the two LCD’s with actual
moving images
